F ollowing extraction of a natal or neonatal tooth, continued growth of the dental papilla may occur and a tooth-like form may develop.'^ This report describes an atypical tooth form (probably the result of continued growth of the retained dental papilla) that abscessed and may have caused delayed eruption of the adjacent primary lateral incisor. A 13-month-old white male presented to the autho...

Introduction: Dilated odontoma is the most severe form of a dens invaginatus, which rare dental malformation resulting from an invagination enamel organ into papilla before calcification occurs. Observation: A healthy 7-years-old girl was referred to oral surgery department remove impacted causing delayed eruption right mandibular lateral incisor (tooth 42). The patient painless and lingual oss...

Aim. To investigate the root canal anatomy of single-rooted permanent maxillary and mandibular canines in an Indian population using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methodology. A total of 250 permanent maxillary canines and 250 permanent mandibular canines were selected and scanned using CBCT. The root anatomy of each tooth was evaluated for the following parameters: the pattern of the r...

Introduction Variations in the root and canal morphology are a common occurrence. The clinician should have a thorough knowledge of dental anatomy and its variations in order to achieve successful and predictable outcome with root canal treatment. Maxillary first permanent molars are generally considered to be three rooted, one palatal and two buccal. The additional root canal, if present, is t...

Aim This study aims to investigate the root canal anatomy of human extracted permanent maxillary anterior teeth in patients reporting to our dental institution in Chennai using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods A total of 285 maxillary anterior teeth comprising of 100 central incisors, 85 lateral incisors, and 100 canines extracted from various patients reporting to ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS A through knowledge of the root canal morphology is required for successful endodontic ther-apy. The aim of this study was to investigate the root and canal morphology of mandibular third molars in Kerman, a prov-ince in southeast of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred-fifty extracted mandibular third molars were collected randomly from different dental clinics in Kerm...

AIM To report cases with morphologic variations in mandibular premolars. BACKGROUND Mandibular premolars have earned the reputation for having aberrant anatomy. The occurrence of three canals with three separate (type V, Vertucci) foramina in mandibular premolars is very rare. In this report, three cases are presented involving the root canal treatment of mandibular premolars with three diffe...

A clear understanding of the anatomy of human teeth becomes an essential prerequisite for achieving success in endodontic treatment. The presence of an untreated canal may be a reason for failure. The importance of developing a visual picture of the expected locations and number of canals in a particular tooth can’t be overlooked. This report describes a mandibular first molar with unusual root...
